2-32 Basic Installation and Setup
Important: Even if your network uses only the IPX protocol, you
must still set up an IP address for the NETServer if you want to
use our NMP or an SNMP later.
IP Configuration
To manually configure the NETServer's LAN interface on an IP
network:
1.
Enter IP Network information. The network address consists of
the station address and a subnet mask using this format:
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/A, B, C, H, 8-30 or nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
The first four octets describe the IP station address, followed
by the subnet mask (contiguous) designator. You can
specify the subnet by class, numerical designation or in the
IP address format. If you specify a Class C mask, for
example, this command will generate a 255.255.255.0 subnet
value for you. If you specify the number of 1 bits in the
mask, the acceptable range is 8-30 (or 8-32 if a host). For
help counting the bits, see Appendix C: Addressing Schemes
for a handy bitmask table.
The network address will be considered invalid if the
portion of the station address not covered by the mask is 0,
or if the station address plus the mask is -1 (all 1's). Defining
a numerical subnet is useful when your classification falls in
between classes.
To enter the IP network information, type:
add ip network
<network name>
address
<station address/mask>
interface
[eth:1]
frame
[ETHERNET_II | SNAP]
For example:
add ip net backbone add 192.75.202.99/C int eth:1 fra ethernet_II
A numerical mask example:
add ip net backbone add 192.75.202.99/24 int eth:1 fra ethernet_II
